Attendance analysis plays an integral part in improving the efficiency of Employee Attendance management. The Attendance Analysis page of the Attendance module is actually a graphical representation based on the real-time data collected on employee attendances. The below-given image below represents the attendance analysis page.

The X and Y-axis hold the Date and the Hours worked. Click on the MEASURES button to change the measures by which you want to view the chart. There are three Measures, Extra Hours, Hours Worked, and Count as shown below.
Note that the Default viewing measure will be Hours Worked. The above-given graph represents the Hours worked data. Click on Extra hours as shown below to view the graph on the employee extra hours as shown below.

Similar to the measures there are multiple chart viewing options. The charts include Bar Chart (Default), Line Chart, and Pie chart. For the Bar Chart, there are additional options for arranging the data on the chart. The options include Stacked, Ascending, and Descending as shown below.
